Overview

Bronchiectasis shows a higher mortality with males, advanced age, poor functional status, severe disease based on radiographic findings, and evidence of hypoxemia and hypercapnia.

Bronchiectasis Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

  • Bronchiectasis has been shown to contribute to early mortality.[1]
    • Factors associated with higher mortality were advanced age, poor functional status, more severe disease based on radiographic findings, and evidence of hypoxemia or hypercapnia.
  • In US long-term cohort of 91 patients, 30% died during a 13-year follow-up period (median age 60 years).[1]
  • Early mortality was associated with male sex.[1]
  • Bronchiectasis related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, severe exacerbations, systemic inflammation are associated with disease progression
  • 10% of adults with bronchiectasis die within 5-8 years of diagnosis, majority with the cause of death being respiratory related
  • Good nutrition,ideal body weight, and regular vaccinations correlate with improved survival
